Dendermonde Nursery mass stabbing

And you thought Lanza was bad.....

"Kim de Gelder , a 20-year-old Belgian from Sinaai, entered the Fabeltjesland nursery through an unlocked side-door, claiming that he had a question to ask. He then entered one of the rooms and began attacking small children before moving to another room.[2] The man was reported to be wearing black-and-white makeup with his hair vividly colored red, similar to that of the Joker from the Batman films (who, however, has green hair and white and red facial features).[4] De Gelder's attorney, Jaak Haentjens, later formally denied any link to "the Joker", attributing the claims of face paint to De Gelder's pale skin.[5] De Gelder was, in the eyes of his friends and colleagues, a silent boy, who never said anything.[6]

A total of eighteen infants under the age of three and six adults were in the nursery at the time of the attack.[2][7] Two infants and one adult were killed;[2][8] six children, all between one and three years old, were seriously injured; another four suffered minor injuries; and nine escaped unscathed.[9] The alleged perpetrator left the scene on his bike.

Victims[edit]
Leon Garcia-Mannaert, a eight-month-old boy,
Corneel Vermeir, a nine-month-old boy,
Marita Blindeman, a 54-year-old child minder.[10]
Initial reports on Belgian television suggested that five people had been killed and twenty others had been injured,[11] with government officials only confirming the death of one adult and one child.[12] This number was later increased, as another infant had died from the injuries he had sustained. It has also been reported that some of the surviving children have needed plastic surgery due to serious mutilations.[citation needed]"

haha its a strange coincidence i was actually gonna make a Dendermonde stabbings post but i guess you've cleared it up for me, good job we as partly researchers need to branch out to these unkown events instead of focusing on 1 or 2 events excessively.

I hate how unpopular Kim De Gelder and the Dendermonde nursery attack is, despite how brutal it was.

Lanza got so famous because he committed his attack at a period in time when mass shootings were a hot button issue in the US. The fact that he killed so many, and that the victims were young children, made it seem like a serious escalation of previous shootings prompting intense debate. Since Lanza embodied many traits associated with mass shooters, people were able to demonize those things simply because Lanza was associated with them.
If Kim De Gelder had that, he would've stood a better chance.
